#4 Jrue Holiday
One of the least-heralded but easily the most valuable performances from the regular season last season was the shift Jrue Holiday put in following DeMarcus Cousins' Achilles injury 48 games into the season. Holiday's pre- and post- All Star Game numbers speak for themselves in this regard.

As a defender, Holiday is perhaps the single most versatile guard in the league - able to cover the likes of Russell Westbrook and John Wall at the point guard position while also being able to switch onto the likes of Kevin Durant effectively - as he showed during the postseason.

Holiday's 49.4% field goal conversion rate was among the highest figures for guards playing over 40 games and averaging more than 20 minutes per game last season - lower only than Steph and higher than Kyrie, who were all completing over 49% of their field goal attempts last season.
An All-Defensive First Team selection from last season was absolutely warranted given his stellar efforts on that end.
